In theory, a June matchup between the first and second place teams in a division should be a somewhat tense affair as they battle for position. However, in this case, it a double-digit lead so there’s honestly not a ton at stake.
Still, it’s a series of two of the hottest teams in baseball and they delivered a gem tonight with a pitchers’ duel and a walk-off that thankfully resulted in the Dodgers prevailing over the Rockies, 4-2.

This was almost entirely the tale of Walker Buehler and German Marquez, one of whom has been the best pitcher in baseball this month and the other who despite the surface stats has been great all year.
